Iadon
Family
Spouse Eshen
Children Raoden
Titles King of Arelon
Nationality Arelene
Homeworld Sel

Iadon was the first king of Arelon after the Reod on Sel.

Appearance and Personality

Iadon was a thin man with a shrewd face.[1]

His personality was decisive and forceful, with little regard for others. His treatment of Sarene indicates he is somewhat self-centered and rude. He prefers to be brief and to the point when speaking.

History

Iadon was originally a successful merchant in Arelon. He and his first wife had one son, Raoden. His wife died approximately 2 years before the Reod.[1] By the time the Reod struck, he had become the head of the merchant's guild, a position he used to leverage his bid for kingship during the chaos that followed. He was married to Eshen a few months after taking the throne.[1] The ten years of Iadon's rule were widely regarded as among the worst that Arelon ever faced. He eventually committed suicide, once his actions with the Jeskeri Mysteries became public.
